The enigmatic ancient dance called "Nil Barahi Dyo Pyakhan," originating during the Lichhavi and Malla periods, is making a comeback, contributing to the cultural wealth of the Kathmandu Valley. The people of Bodey, a charming Newa community north of Thimi, have been actively participating in this tantric dance. The dance encompasses various deities like Bhairav, Barahi, Kumari, Simha, Dwarpal, and Ganesh, further enriching the region's cultural tapestry. Legend has it that a farmer named Dhon from Bodey was abducted by Nil Barahi in her deer form and taken to the dense Tigini forest nearby. Here, the deity imparted to him a tantric dance, which the locals have performed annually ever since. Some believe this ritual dates back to the Lichhavi era, potentially over a thousand years ago. The first documented instances of these dances are from 1514 (Nepal Sambat 633) when King Subarna Malla organized the Navadurga Naach due to drought in Bhaktapur. He also arranged for Layaku Bhaila in Thimi and Nil Barahi Naach in Bode. In 1718, King Bhupatindra Malla bestowed the 'Chhati Kathi', the Royal Sceptre, and land for the ritual. The sceptre, still bearing the inscribed date, remains preserved. Another perspective suggests that the dance commemorates a triumphant conclusion of an ancient battle. Local folklore indicates three distinct dances during that time: Mahakali Naach in Nagadesh depicted war preparations, Navadurga Naach symbolized the battle itself, and Nil Barahi represented the ensuing celebration. Spanning the four days leading up to Gaijatra, this year falling on August 24-27, the festival commences. During this period, the Bodey residents who embody the deities are instructed in the dance through a process called "Pyakha Syenegu," which translates to 'teaching the dance'. Notably, Bhairav, Barahi, and Ganesh's presence is obligatory as dance patrons. Upon donning their masks, the individuals embody the divine energy. Empowered by tantric abilities, they dance tirelessly for four nights and three days, regardless of challenges. Throughout the performance, both the deities and their representatives refrain from eating, speaking, and solely communicate through hand gestures. Each deity is supported by a Jwokalu (ज्वकालु), an assistant who tends to their needs. Rest is allowed but limited to a few minutes. If a dancer passes away before or during the ritual, a family member must step in as a replacement. While the animated dance involves 19 masked performers, approximately 100 residents from Bodey participate in various roles, including deities, gurus, dancers, musicians, and helpers. The dance is accompanied by a diverse array of musical instruments. An individual carries a 'Sukunda', a lamp that must remain lit throughout the festival, as it's believed that if the flame goes out, the deities may fall ill. Once all participants gather at Dyo Chhen, the parade commences. Prior to that, the masks are brought to Naskuti (नासःकुथि), located inside the Dyo Chhen, where the Jwokalu manages them. A musical tune accompanies the procession as the masks are worn. The procession follows a specific sequence: starting with the flag (ध्वाय्), followed by sword and shield (सँय्), Chilakh (flames), sceptre (rajdanda), Bhairab, Barahi, Kumari, Simha, Dwarpal, Ganesh, and the musical team at the rear. The route takes the procession from Dyo Chhen to Lachhi (लाछी), Lyaku (लाय्कु), Bishnughat (विष्णुघाट), Bhangu (भाँगु), Khansi (खाँसी), and back to Akha via Lachhi. As the deities march through the narrow streets, they are accompanied by traditional musical instruments such as dhaa baja (two-headed drums), ta and bhusyah (cymbals), ponga and mwali (flutes). The music encompasses various rhythmic patterns based on four distinct dance styles: Nhyakhin Taal (न्ह्याखीं), Dha: Taal (द्यःताल), Lisa: Nyosa: (लिसाः न्ह्यसाः ताल), and Simha ti nwoigu Taal (सिंद्य तिं न्वइगु ताल). The deities are offered tributes by local residents and relatives, integral to the ritual's observance. Bodey's unwavering dedication sustains an ancient tradition, passed down for five centuries. Spectators savor cultural essence; performers commit for life. Nineteen dancers embody deities like Bhairav and Nil Barahi, shouldering roles until a fresh group is appointed in the Dyo Gan Hilegu process. Since 1958, the current group, mostly in their 70s and 80s, exemplifies this timeless tradition's enduring strength.
